In this episode Lydia shares her story of becoming a Mama to her two girls Jemima and Mabel.
Their first daughter was conceived easily and she was born in 2014.
When they tried for a second child, they had difficultly and were diagnosed with secondary infertility, namely very low AMH levels. They were told they would need IVF and probably egg donation.
The subsequent years involved trying treatment with Lydia's eggs, becoming pregnant naturally but then losing the baby at 13 weeks, getting public IVF funding and being selected by an egg donor.
They then went on to do all the necessary requirements to use the egg donor and they conceived their daughter Mabel on the 2nd transfer.
We talk about so much more in this episode - we talk about all the feelings about so many intricacies of their journey.
